No add block link - Drupal 8.0.6

Hello, I've installed the recent Drupal version of 8.0.6 and I could not find the add block link when adding it to my site. Actually there is a new tab called "Custom Block Library" @Home >Administration >Structure which does not consist a title for the block unless changing the format of the block and more facilities. I'd appreciate your help telling me what shall I do to add a standard block like at the video lessons with Diane Douglas. Many thanks

Go to "Custom block library" > "Add custom block" > and then enter the description and the body.

Once this has been done you can go back to the "Block layout" section and select "Bartik". Scroll down to "Featured top" and select "Place block". A new window will now open where you can select the custom block you made earlier and it will then display the options you are familiar with from the video (title, content types, pages, and roles).

Hope this helps.
